Happy Crab Dip

If you’ve had hearts of palm, you maybe thought “this tastes exactly like crab!” Hearts of palm are the edible buds of palm trees and you can find them packed in water.

I made this recipe remembering my childhood trips to my Grandparent’s home in Maryland. We’d eat fresh crab at the shore, and though it’s been decades since then, this takes me right back! Turns out, we can let the little crabs be free. Hearts of palm lends the texture, and Old Bay Seasoning lends that classic flavor.

This easy recipe only requires 10 minutes of prep time, and the chickpeas give it enough protein to work as an appetizer or entree. In fact, we ate it last night for dinner and were happily satiated!
